OUR DAILY BREAD

My message from facebook 8/21/2012

The Lord said to Moses, “I’m going to send you food from heaven like rain. Each day the people should go out and gather only what they need for that day. In this way I will test them to see whether or not they will follow my instructions. Exodus 16:4 GWT. The great lesson that I am learning is to be grateful for each days blessing rather than focus on what is going to happen tomorrow. Every day that I take my focus off of, to think about tomorrow, is a day lost. If I worry about tomorrow, I would be missing out on today's blessings and being thankful and enjoying the moment today. God tested the Israelite by giving them manna that was to only last for that day. They called it Manna because they didn't know what it was, it was food that came from heaven. They learned about trusting God in that everyday, He will supply their needs. God told them to store up only what they needed for to day and on the 6th day, store up for two days, because the 7th day was a day of rest and a day that is dedicated to Him. The food that God supplied them with was only to last for one day and any that was left over on the ground the next day did spoil. God was always teaching them to trust and obey Him. But, there did come a time when they got tired of the same thing for 40 years God feed them Manna and they became ungrateful. I never want to get to a place in my life where I become bored or tired of God's daily bread and become ungrateful. That would be a terrible sin! Anything that comes from God is good and good for me. As I am going through this phase in my life, God is teaching me that I can depend on Him to take care of me everyday. Each day that I wake up, my needs are supplied. Anyway you bless me LORD, I'll be satisfied. I am so thankful to you LORD for supplying all of my daily needs!

Note: 

In the verse that was supplied, God gave them something that is needed to stay alive. If we were instructed to only take what we need for 1 day, how much would we be tempted to take more "just in case something happen"? With God, there is n

o such thing as just in case something happen because He is with us everyday. To doubt God's love and care is a great sin. Remember that our faith will always be tested. God want to know how much you love Him. That might sound strange seeing that God knows everything and know how much you love and trust Him already, but He is checking you, proving you, testing you to see how far you will go with Him. The test is not because He doesn't know, the test is to SHOW US what He ALREADY know about us. In other words, acknowledgement on our part. God bless you.
